Creating ASP.NET Applications with N-Tier Architecture

Creating ASP.NET Applications with N-Tier Architecture[^]

Architecture depends your application requirement. Suppose you are developing an application that target only Web Users then you can use 3-tire or can be n-tire. I will give the priority t n-tire.

But your application is also targeting mobile phone users means mobiles apps like Android, Windows etc...Then you should go with SOA (Service oriented architecture).


You should focus on design pattern instead of architecture. You can implement any design pattern in any architecture. So you should focus on design pattern then architecture.

Like N-tire Architecture with Abstract Factory Pattern...

If you are working with WPF or Silverlight, you could explore MVVM.

<pre lang="sql">MVC is a one kind of design pattern and first invented may be in 1980.so it is very old pattern but still it is the most asking question for the interview "do you know MVC?". anyways it depends on you to choose the best pattern for your application.If you are developing web application then you can choose MVC/n tier.If you are developing WPF/windows phone application then you can choose MVVM.
